[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2107673, member: 41816"] Um... you know this article is about a T1 who injects insulin to cover his carb intake? And that he is talking exclusively from his personal experience - except for a rather odd last paragraph in which he makes the following unsubstantiated claims: [I]The good news is, there's another way! Type 2 diabetes [B]can absolutely be reversed and cured[/B]. I’ve seen it done over and over again on a whole-food plant-based approach. Patients are achieving non-diabetic HbA1c results, stable blood glucose levels, normal insulin levels, and are coming off all medication - all while eating unrefined healthy carbohydrates. In my eyes, that is the true reversal of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.[/I] He gives no references, and no indication of what constitutes a ‘cure’, except that he thinks it means you can eat carbs. His logic seems most bizarre, and looks like this: - I’m a T1 and I tried keto. - it didn’t work for me. - so i switched diets and have spent 4 months eating whole foods plant based vegan, and I feel better - so it must be better for T2s too - and anyway, keto doesn’t CURE T2 - and I have ‘seen’ people reverse and cure T2 on WFPB vegan (no references, you note) We have seen these claims crop up again and again, but the references (if anyone can be persuaded to post them) always lead back to some rather questionable research that is nowhere near as rigorous as the work by Virta and Professor ‘Newcastle Diet’ Taylor. And remember, claims of ‘reversal’ and ‘cures’ are internet click bait. Actually producing the evidence (which this guy doesn’t even attempt to try), is much more difficult. My advice to you, [USER=501623]@Cocosilk[/USER] would be to do some reading on physiological insulin resistance. It will give you a much better understanding than that article, of why your body has slightly higher carb reactions than you used to get while eating carbs. Edited for several typos. [/QUOTE]
